The picture is 96 by 54 inches in size, and repre- view before their chief when he was in the his letter to MT. Stewart when the painting left his hands, wrote of it: ''I did not intend to paint battle I wanted to paint Napoleon at the zenith of his glory. I wanted to paint the love, the adoration of the soldiers for the great captain, in whom they had faith, and for whom they were ready to die." The picture has been regarded as masterpiece of the great painter and its reputation is as wide as the world of art.
 In addition, MT. Hilton gives from his pri- vate collection Edmund Detaille's 'Defense of Champigny," valued at $4O,OOO. This pie ture represents an episode of the siege of Paris in the year 1870, at the moment when the divi- sion of Gen.

The chateau shown is one of those which is found at the fork of the two roads of Chennevieres; B place well known to those Parisans who took part in the scenes If the siege of Paris. The officer shown in the centre of the picture is Gen. Faron, who appointed General of Division on the field of battle. The foot soldiers belong to the One Hundred and Thirteenth Regiment of the line, who lost great number in the three days of the fight The sappers, who are making the embrasures in the wall to enable the sharpshooters to fire under protection, and are barricading the openings with all kinds of material; the artil- eriss, who are placing the battery guns in po- sition; all likewise were under the orders of Gen. Faron, who at this time commanded the right wing of the French army.

George A. Barton, who was serving term in the Worcester, Mass, jail, for polygamy, had been trusted to work in the corridors and cells, and had a cell key during the day. He had fight with George French, and both of them were put in solitary confinement, in which was also another prisoner. The fight was part of the plot. The three men, by use of Barton's key, which had been concealed in one of the solitary cells, opened the doors and concealed themselves, and at midnight, when Warden visited the solitary cells, as usual, they bound and gagged him and locked him in cell.

', A famous physician, many years ago. with the aid of an English chemist, formulated a preparation which effected remarkable cu es of liver diseases, ble, indigestion, etc., and from a small beginning tiere arose a large de- mand and sale for it. which has ever increased until, after generations have passed, it's popu- larty has become world wide. The name of this celebrated remedy is Cookies Anti-Bil- ious Pills.
 To such travelled Americans as have become acquainted with the great merits of hese Pills (so unlike any others), and who have ever since resol ted to their use in cases of need, commen- dation is unnecessary. But to those aUho hdre not used them and hdre no k,1o1cledge of their aUOnderful UiTtteS, aue nOlO mute attention.
 The use of these Pills in the United States .s already large. Their virtues have never varied, and will stand the test O. any clim ate. They are advertised in our columns-not in fla grant ma iner, but modestly; for the great praise bes' owed upon them by high authori- ties renders it unnecessary, even distaste- ful. to extol their merits beyond plain, unvar- nished stateme its.
 Persons afflicted with indigestion or any bill l. ious or liver trouble, should bear in mind "Cockles Anti Bilious Pills" and should ask for them of their druggist, and if he has got them insist that he should order them espe- cially for themselves of any wholesale dealer, of whom they can be had.
